About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Doing my best every day to be in accordance with my inner being. Think it might be a good way to reach hapiness...

ABOUT ME

I'm a women, who's been dreaming about America Latina for a long time. The dream became true in 2013, when I flew to Argentina for a working holiday visa. I enjoyed a lot this experience, made me grow a lot.
After 3 years in France, I'm now "back on backpack", ready for new couchsurfing experiences ! :)

I'm a positive person, easy to live (most of the time, and with people I don't know well Always, be reassured ;)), like laughing, share good talks, good meals... Please give me the chance to meet you !

PHILOSOPHY

Don't spend your time imagining what you could do, what you would like to do. Do it.
Meet a lot of people, have good time with them.
Travel a lot and open your mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During my travel in America Latina, I went to the house of various hosts.
Great experiences, each time diferent. The few times I had a home in France, it was definitly a pleasure to welcome people too !
More recently, we had 2 great CS experiences with my boyfriend in Italy.
It was the occasion to confirm how much I like this way to travel, meeting the people living in the place I visit. So different from going to an hotel or a youth hostel, where most of the time you only meet other travelers...

Interests

I love sharing about food, pastry especially.
Music is also very important to me, and can easily influence my mood.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One evening, at the restaurant with a friend.
A lonely man, around 50 years old, looked at us frequently.
At the end when we asked for the bill, the waiter said the man had already paid for all.
"You reminded me my children" he said.

We never saw him after.
True generosity.
